Shakuni uncle is in BJP: Minister Priyank Kharge
Kalaburgi, October 10: Hitting out at former MLA Malikayya Guttedar indirectly, Social Welfare Minister Priyank Kharge ridiculed that “Dhritarashtra and Duryodhana may be in Congress, but Shakuni uncle is in BJP”.
Speaking to reporters at Afzalpura on Wednesday, Priyank Kharge strongly condemned the statement of Malikayya Guttedar that ‘Mallikarjun Kharge is Dhritarashtra, Priyank Kharge is Duryodhana’. “People have taught a lesson to an arrogant person. BJP people listen to me. If you think that you can divert the votes keeping Guttedar with you, it is your illusion. Your wish will not be fulfilled”, he warned.
Is government a flight?
BJP leaders have been saying that the Congress-JDS coalition government was not taken off. Was the coalition government a flight to take off, Kharge asked.
BJP leaders have been saying that the coalition government was not taken off in Karnataka. But at the centre, Prime Minister Narendra Modi has just been announcing new programmes instead of implementing them, he criticized.

Waqf Bill anti-secular, will snatch rights of Muslims: Mamata Banerjee
Kolkata (PTI): West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee on Thursday described the Waqf (Amendment) Bill as “anti-secular”, claiming that it would snatch the rights of Muslims.
Banerjee, speaking in the assembly, also said the Centre did not consult with states over the matter.
“The bill is anti-federal and anti-secular; it is a deliberate attempt to malign a particular section. It will snatch the rights of Muslims... The Centre did not consult with us on the Waqf Bill,” she said.
The chief minister added that “if any religion was attacked”, she would wholeheartedly condemn it.
Opposition parties have stridently criticised the amendments proposed by the bill in the existing Waqf Act, alleging that they violate the religious rights of Muslims.
The ruling BJP has asserted that the amendments will bring transparency in the functioning of the Waqf boards and make them accountable.
A parliamentary committee has been constituted to scrutinise the contentious bill.
